Red Mansion Daiyu, the Rise of the Lin Family

"Sister, is this possible?"

"We have already offended Jia Yucun, and now we want to marry him."

"Is this feasible?" Aunt Xue was actually still afraid of Jia Yucun.

When Xue Pan was first imprisoned in Jinling, he went to see him once with the Wang family.

That person doesn't look like an easy person to get along with.

A bit unfathomable.

In fact, Xue Pan's wife, Aunt Xue, his future daughter-in-law, had also had this idea.

She hopes that her future daughter-in-law is capable and beautiful, but her family doesn't need to be too powerful.

The mother's family is powerful, so as an orphan and a widow, it is easy for the daughter-in-law's family to control her.

When Mrs. Wang saw Aunt Xue's expression, she felt a pang in her heart.

This sister has high ambitions but a fragile life.

It seems that he wants to find a daughter-in-law from a merchant family.

Wouldn't that invisibly lower Xue Baochai's status?

Look at that girl from the Lin family who is trying to get close to the princess step by step.

Identity, identity, when will this sister understand the importance of aristocratic identity?

If the daughter-in-law is of noble status, even if she is humble, she is naturally superior to her mother-in-law in terms of seniority, and even if God is overturned, she cannot do anything to her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law gave birth to a son and married her, so she was naturally superior to her.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang continued, "Why not?"

"Didn't you say you offended this person?"

"Then fix it!"

"Let my brother do this. Xue Pan, the only child of the Xue family, will be the head of the family as soon as she enters the family. All the wealth and honor belong to her."

"Besides, that girl was trafficked when she was young. How could she have seen many good things? It is a blessing that she has accumulated over several lifetimes to be able to live in a wealthy family."

"And I can be loved by my husband. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

Mrs. Wang had not had this idea at first, but when she was chatting with Aunt Xue, this idea came to her mind and she suddenly thought it was very feasible.

This can also bring Jia Yucun to the Wang family camp.

Jinling is a great place. If Your Majesty has such help, she will surely feel at home in the palace.

Aunt Xue did not make any comment. She did not dare to agree rashly. She said something perfunctory to Mrs. Wang and left Rong Xi Tang.

When they returned to Lixiang Courtyard, Xue Pan's concubine Xinling, was sitting in the house doing needlework.

This child is delicate and gentle, and although she is obedient, she is unable to control Xue Pan.

What a good child, but he only cared about you for a few days and then gave up.

Aunt Xue was sitting on the couch deep in thought, when Xue Baochai came back.

Seeing her mother bowing her head and keeping silent, as if she were lost in thought, Xue Baochai put her hand in Aunt Xue's.

"Mother, what's on your mind?"

Aunt Xue signaled Xinling to leave.

Then he looked at his daughter and said with comfort in his heart,

"My son, your brother and I are the ones who have held you back. Otherwise, you would have been chosen the last time."

"I won't end up being rejected when Princess Chaoyang is selecting a study partner."

Xue Baochai smiled slightly, "Mother, why are you still worried about this matter?"

"How long has it been since this happened?"

"I told you last time I came back that Princess Chaoyang is capricious and her mansion is not a good place."

"If I go, I may not be able to save my life."

Xue Baochai thought of the three checkpoints in Princess Chaoyang's mansion. She was frightened to death every moment and almost lost her life several times.

"It's not that I wanted to bring this up, but your aunt brought it up again today."

"It is said that Lin Daiyu relied on Princess Chaoyang's power to offend the Empress."

Aunt Xue told her daughter every detail of her meeting with Mrs. Wang today.

After hearing this, Xue Baochai pulled her hand back, took out her handkerchief, and wiped the expression from the corner of her mouth.

"Mother, if I were to say so, we should not interfere in this matter."

"Even if you are writing to your uncle, mother should write clearly that it is from your aunt."

"When these adults wrestle, our Xue family is the weakest,"

"Since we are weak, we should have the awareness of being weak. We cannot have too many independent ideas."

“Without ideas, it is more credible.”

"Mother, we can only be trusted by others if we are impartial."

At this point, Xue Baochai paused for a moment. She looked at the tiles and dripping water on the eaves.

"Who made us not have someone to hold an umbrella? Without someone to hold an umbrella, mother, we should not even think about holding the umbrella handle."

"This way, everyone will know that we are not a threat and are just a piece of fat meat. This way, no one will think of eating us up in one bite."

"Wouldn't it be better to save it and eat it slowly?"

Having said this, Xue Baochai clenched the handkerchief in her hand.

Who doesn’t want someone to shelter them from the wind and rain?

"My son, you are so capable, it is the Xue family who has wronged you."

"If your brother had half of your ability, why would we mother and daughter have to bear the reputation of clinging to him like this?"

Having said this, Aunt Xue reached out and held her daughter in her arms.

Xue Baochai had to struggle out and comfort her mother.

"Mom, it's better to have something to cling to than to have nothing to cling to."

"It is better for us to cling to others now than to be stubborn and find a way out on our own."

"Now everyone knows that my brother is stupid and will never achieve anything great. It's hard for us mother and daughter. This is not a big deal."

"If your brother is actually incompetent, but thinks he is talented, gets into trouble everywhere, and offends important people, then you will be really afraid."

"One mistake can lead to the ruin of your family."

Aunt Xue also burst into laughter now.

"You kid, how many troubles have you turned into good things with just a few words."

"Then I will write to your uncle and ask him if I can ask him to marry Jia Yucun's adopted daughter."

"You just went to the Grand View Garden. Did you have a good time?"

"Mother, since Tanchun and I came back last time, I feel that our poetry talent is limited and we are just entertaining ourselves in our own courtyard."

"Who knew that we would be slapped in the face when we took it out? Now we are ready to lead the way in forming a poetry club."

When talking about writing poetry for fun, although Xue Baochai's tone was self-deprecating, her face also revealed the happiness that belonged to her age.

"After discussion, we decided to name it Xiaoxiang Society." Xue Baochai enthusiastically described to her mother the original intention of their association.

"Why is it called Xiaoxiang Society? Not Peach Blossom Society or Begonia Society?"

Aunt Xue asked in confusion.

"Mother, Xiaoxiang Society was suggested by Baoyu. Isn't Sister Lin not here?"

"Let's choose Xiaoxiang Pavilion as the location for the association, so that we can have a reason to ask her to come over when the time comes."

"This time, let her write some good poems. She can't hide her incompetence anymore."

"We can learn a thing or two from this, too."

Speaking of this, Xue Baochai seemed to have a bitter tone in her mouth. She raised her head and called the maid.

"Ying'er, change the tea."

Outside, Xue Baochai's maid Ying'er responded and went to get and change the water.

Aunt Xue sighed.

"This Miss Lin is also strange. She has only been to the Jia family a few times, but it seems that Miss Lin is everywhere in the Jia family."

Xue Baochai said helplessly, "Mother, such a person makes people forget the world."

"Some people are so dazzling that it's hard to forget them once you meet them."

"We can't envy them." Xue Baocha said this with a sense of loss.

Aunt Xue felt a little upset when she heard this.

How would Jia Min arrange for a child like this?

Now it seems that she has no intention of marrying into the Jia family.

Is there a better place for Jia Min to go?

"Mom, our Xiaoxiang Society will be officially established tomorrow. You can go and have a look if you have time."
